JERUSALEM (VINnews) — At least five people have been killed, and at least three wounded in a Friday night shooting attack in a Jerusalem synagogue.

The attack happened in Jerusalem’s Neve Yaakov neighborhood.

Police say the terrorist arrived by car at a building used as a synagogue, and opened fire on the congregants.

Police arrived at the scene and shot the terrorist once they located him. A handgun used by the terrorist was recovered on the scene.

Magen David Adom medics declared five victims dead at the scene, while another three wounded victims were transported to Hadassah Mount Scopus hospital.

Of the three wounded victims, a woman in her 70s was listed in critical condition, a 20-year-old man was listed in serious condition, and a 14-year-old boy was listed in moderate-serious condition.

Neve Yaakov is home to Yeshiva Bais Yisroel and Yeshiva Lev Aryeh, two well known Yeshivos with large American student bodies.

This is why all terrorists must be killed and their family home knocked down.

Israel should start a new settlement in the West Bank for each victim of Arab terror.

This terror attack again proves that the terrorists are not just against “Zionists” and IDF military targets but against ALL JEWS. So it is especially sad that so many charedi hate the state and actually succor the terror. Amazing amnesia and neurosis going on, which only aids our blood enemies.

Actually there is a very simple solution to this horrible crises
Arabs live in their own neighborhoods.
Just prohibit Arab from leaving their residence.
Without warning
Cut off all their supplies to
Water
Electricity
Gas
Problem solved
Most of them don’t pay their bills anyway

<em>Neve Yaakov is home to Yeshiva Bais Yisroel</em> Who have already reached out to entire parent body {email was already there as soon as I booted up computer after שבת}, and shall be upping their security, and to this effect has already requested a fee from entire parent body to upgrade their security.

It’s really our own fault.
We hire Arabs.
Cheap labor
Arab Israelis get the same benefits as Jews, even many times more.
If no one will hire Arabs
They will move elsewhere.
Declare Israel a Jewish State and ONLY Halachic Jews can live in Israel.
Everyone else out.
Then Israrl will decide which righteous goy can live in Israel
